Content This unit lies at the start of the pathway to becoming an engineer. Engineers conceive ways to re-arrange objects, materials and systems to achieve beneficial outcomes. There are many personal and professional skills and knowledge, which

Attachment D1

need to be gained in order to make use of the technical knowledge that students acquire in other units, and to apply these to real projects. In this unit students study a real project in one of three geopolitical contexts. They learn how the context influences the objectives, the process and the outcomes; to work in small engineering teams with distributed expertise—no one person knows enough to reach the objective so members of the team have to rely on working together; and to develop social interaction and other communication skills forming the foundations of professional practice.

Content The use of appropriate materials is fundamental to all engineering applications. The properties of materials are ultimately dependent on the microstructure. The behaviour of materials is dependent on how these characteristics react to or interact with forcing conditions. External forces applied to a structure must be safely accommodated through internal distribution of stress within elements of the structure. Material characteristics dictate how this distribution occurs and appropriate characterisation is therefore necessary. Fundamental equations of equilibrium are used to calculate overall stability, internal stress distribution and conditions under which failure would occur. This unit highlights the dependency of material properties on their underlying microstructure, leading to an understanding of material behaviour, solid statics and hydrostatics and ultimately the appropriate use of different materials for engineering applications. The content is explored using two major projects—(1) reverse engineering of a small engineering device; and (2) construction and destruction of small and larger scale bridges.

Topics include system identification and modelling; conservation and accounting principles; and the application of these techniques to electrical circuits, particles, rigid bodies and fluids.; and an introduction to dimensional reasoning. Students learn to solve problems using a systems approach.

Design Challenge: The unit will include a semester-long design challenge that

requires an understanding of electrical, fluid & mechanical systems and their

Attachment D9

interaction. It is anticipated that we will require two separate design challenges (one for each semester). These challenges will be modified & improved each year. The design challenges will need to be carefully designed to ensure students use and extend a range of concepts that are covered in the unit content. The design challenge will be undertaken in teams of 6, allowing one pair of students in each team to focus on one of the aspects (electrical, fluid, mechanical) of their design. This will allow individual students to explore one of the engineering disciplines in more depth. Students will be able to start on the design challenge at the beginning of semester by working through some basic (but fundamental) tasks. More complex aspects of the design will be more readily tackled after exposure to relevant concepts in class. This activity will also allow a range of communication skills to be developed and assessed within the unit.
